Tasting Notes

Deep ruby red color tending to garnet with ageing. The bouquet is characterized by fruity notes of cherry and red fruits alternating with hints of spicy and sometimes floral notes. The result is a Barbera featuring an excellent structure and complexity, with sweet and velvety tannins, all of this with a lasting persistence.

About Mauro Molino

On a visit to Piedmont in 2004, Matteo Molino stood out amongst our group of Langaroli – and not just for his exceptional height! His wines were great and well-priced. He was quick to understand both the potential and challenges of our market. And he spoke English very well, with a great passion for Nebbiolo – not just his own. In the next decade, he and his younger sister Martina would take over the reigns at their father’s estate, and guide it into the international spotlight by both making great wines and traveling to engage and charm international customers into Molino fans.

The company continues to produce wines in Annunziata of La Morra, in the utmost respect of traditions.  The total area amounts to 18 hectares, 50% of which is meant for Nebbiolo for Barolo. The rest is devoted to the production of Barbera d’Alba, Langhe Dolcetto and, in a smaller quantity, of Roero Arneis.  A lot has changed since the early beginnings: events took place crucial to the continuation of this wonderful adventure of winemaking passion and dedication.
